So I had the worst freshman year of college. I would go to class come back and cry on my floor every night. I made no friends no hobbies nothing it was just me and my depression. It didn’t get better until I finally distracted myself. I mustered up courage for clubs, played sims and roblox, read books. Once I finally stopped feeding that depression things started coming easy again. I was finally making friends and having fun on a daily basis and making time for myself and my hobbies
There are times where I still get upset here and there but I always just sit and breathe maybe even give myself a BRIEF moment to cry bc everyone needs to cry every once and a while but after that brief moment I pick myself up and keep it pushing. I look at it like a sport. You have a passion and love to keep pushing yourself through a sport so do the same with life as if you were training for a “competition” (which is how fast you can get to becoming the best version of yourself)
